Another game, another year. This is one of the hardest decisions I have to make ever year on this website and 2025 was easily one of the best years for gaming in a long time.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur just does everything right in a genre that has been falling off over the last decade. Taking Wester RPG elements and fusing then with Japanese RPG gameplay makes for a really fun and interesting game. A story that gripping all way until the end and characters that are memorable and fun.
